What reading level is Personal Reminiscences of Men And Things On Long Island book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One of the birds fell. We are unable to say whether it 98 was the front or hind bird, but he struck the ground dead about three hundred feet beyond us. This bird was a goose, but of a variety en- tirely unknown to us. A post-mortem, however, held on the body by some of the oldest and astutest sporting neighbors pronounced it a white goose {A user hyperboreus) of a variety much smaller than the Canadensis wild goose and very rare in this country, but common in Norway.
This is our story of shooti...ng a goose which is a case of purely accidental killing.
In the literature of the ancient world the domestic goose occupies an important place. He was the sacred bird of many peoples, and yet he was almost universally recognized as the symbol of stupidity. He was despised by the Gauls and Franks; ancestrally hated by the Italians; was the sacred bird of the Egyptians, Ceylonese, Burmese and Chinese; was wor- shipped by the Romans, who were very grateful to the goose, and awarded to him an annual festival at the Capitol, for the malntalnance of which a large sum was appropriated.
